I have a couple of questions. Why is Snape going directly to the Minister on this? Why is he not going to Wizarding family services? Then maybe Fudge finds out from them? It's kind of ridiculous for Snape to go straight to the head of the government to handle something so small. Also, how is he able to walk right into Fudge's office? Again, he is the head of the government, there should be someone there to stop Snape from just waltzing in. Plus, he should have a packed schedule and thus not be in his office much. I could understand Dumbledore being able to just walk in. One other point, specifically on this chapter - Snape is a Slytherin, why would he just tell Fudge straight out what he had planned instead of just doing it and presenting it fait accompli?
Except for the above plot holes, I love, love, love the rest of the story. :-)
Author's Response: I’ll be honest, the only reason I started writing this story was because I had a few scenes between Snape and Harry that I really wanted to write that just wouldn’t fit in with my other stories. So a lot of It was not planned out at first, though I do know the direction I want to go in. Otherwise, it’s all just whatever comes to mind. As far as going to Fudge, this isn’t just any kid Snape is trying to gain custody of, its the Boy-Who-Lived and this situation must be kept as silent as possible. That doesn’t mean we won’t see a type of Wizarding family services in the future. ;) And I know Severus would have more likely been the type to walk out without a word about his plan, but where’s the drama in that? Waltzing into Fudge’s office? Well, sadly I must admit I don’t spend as much time being a hundred percent accurate for a fanfiction like I would my personal projects. It’s quicker this way. Anyway, I’m so glad you are enjoying this story! It is a lot of fun to write and I hope you enjoy the next chapters!
